It's cables and brioche for Vivian today! She's working on a cabled cardigan, a brioche hat and finished a cabled hat and a brioche shawl. Phew! And Alyson's all cardigans: her nearly finished South Shore cardigan, and Vivian's cabled cardi is actually for Alyson. Plus it's time to start planning your Archive KCAL projects.

Congrats to the Moorit Makealong prize winner, Jbryanttoo! In other MAL news, Alyson finished her Kishie vest... ok so maybe it was a wee bit past the MAL end date. But at least that's an FO in the 2024 bank for Alyson to make up for the fact that she only finished 4 projects in 2023. Vivian on the other hand completed a whopping 24 projects last year!

- You wouldn't know it from ALL the projects Vivian has been beavering away on, but she does have one cabled project to show off: her Folklore cardi! Plus a bit of color work in the form of both a WIP and an FO. Alyson meanwhile is trundling along with her not so sage Sage shrug.

Both Vivian and Alyson have a new project on the go, but no finished objects to speak of... that's because we were too busy on a little family vacation. We spent a few days on the Isle of Arran and had the best time, so do excuse us for having a little chat about that.

And Vivian has indeed finished her Hand in Hand Vest which is an extra accomplishment since she basically made it one and a half times over.

WE'RE IN AMSTERDAM! Somebody pinch me... So we find ourselves in the Netherlands together, and what a wonderful trip it has been. It is both of our first time in Amsterdam, so there's been much sight seeing and admiring of canals and buildings. But we couldn't help recording a short episode together. It's a bit light on the crafty content, but we did visit a few yarn shops (and not just Stephen & Penelope).

Is it opposite day? In a stunning turn of events, Alyson is knitting and Vivian is crocheting. But no matter, there's only love for both crafts on this podcast. Vivian is working on a crocheted version of the knitted Pop Blanket-- it's going much better than the original which was hibernating for a couple years. And Alyson is tackling a knitted cardigan!

It's an extra extra extra special episode. Not only are we together again (twice in two months!), but we're together in Rhinebeck, home of the yarn famous New York State Sheep & Wool Festival! We had an amazing time together, and with our Rhinebeck housemates. The Sheep & Wool Festival, as well as Folk & Folk (a yarn and music festival) were incredible. We've struggled to capture in words how truly wonderful it all was, and we were super tired after a weekend of wool and friends!

Oopsie! We've been sitting on this episode for a few weeks, so some of our Stranger Things comments is a little out of date. Also apologies for anyone who doesn't watch Stranger Things... this is one Buzzfeed quiz that might not make much sense to you! But we've got crafty content for you, including both Alyson and Vivian's assigned color pooling shawls.

The 2022 Archive KCAL is officially over. Congrats to our winner, emthom26. And many thanks to our giveaway sponsor, Yarningham for donating the prize. Yarningham is the UK's only Black led yarn festival. Tickets are on sale now for the 2022 show taking place in Birmingham on 9 & 10 July. But the real news is that Vivian completed three Archive KCAL projects... Alyson finished none... oops.

The ghost of knitting past is back to haunt Alyson, but she's totally a pro now. Just kidding, she drops a stitch while recording this episode (lol). But in better news, her Jade dress is looking less like a bolero and more like a crop top. And Vivian even has a new project to talk about... at least someone is managing to present FOs around here!

It's a special we're-in-the-same-place episode! Vivian is visiting the UK to help Alyson out at the Sweater Weather yarn festival in Farnham Maltings. We had a great time (which we'll chat about in another episode). But this is just a little pre-show catch-up we recorded while we were still in Edinburgh.

Shockingly, Alyson has been doing some knitting! But it's about time she's gotten around to it in order to finish her 373 Cardi. But never fear, there's a new crochet project being hooked up too. And Vivian has also started a new project with the yarn that was previously her Find Your Fade shawl (R.I.P.)

The 2021 rendition of the Archive KCAL is now over! Thank you to every one who joined along. We loved seeing all your knitting and crochet projects and even quite a few FOs!

It's the final days of the 2021 Archive KCAL, and it looks like neither of us is going to have an FO to show for it! But Vivian is so so close, with just one sleeve to finish her Lovage sweater. Alyson meanwhile, has turned her attention to a hibernating WIP, if only for a short while.

Both Vivian and Alyson are making progress on their Archive KCAL projects, are you?! Plus Vivian is getting closer to finishing her adapted Sagitta Shawl and Alyson finished her pair of Bernie inspired mittens. There's a Moorit update with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of crochet in Scotland. And we're inviting our listeners to send us their stories about their Unfinished Objects! We'd love to hear about how you did (or didn't) tackle your toughest UFOs whether it was a craft project or a DIY gone wrong. Email us voice or video clips to kcacypodcast[at]gmail[dot]come.

After a couple episodes of being a bit light on the WIPs and FOs, we have lots of crafty content to talk about today! There are some old WIPs, but Alyson and Vivian have both started to swatch for their Archive KCAL projects. They're both going to attempt sweaters, but will they finish them by the end of the KCAL? Probably not... Vivian has finished (and is wearing) her Comfort Zone Poncho, and Alyson has finished her 2020 Mood Scarf. Plus, Vivian has some big personal news.

Alyson has made some very solid progress on her 2020 Mood scarf and Vivian has started another gorgeous Sagitta shawl. And we both have FOs of our designs to share. Alyson can finally talk about her first ever magazine commission; it's the George Street Jumper for Crochet Now. And Vivian designed a super cute colorwork hat pattern.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends and listeners! We have a lot to talk about today. Vivian has started a new project and Alyson is making headway on her BIPOC MAL 2020 top. Vivian also has a couple FOs... including a sock fail story. If you're a long time listener, you might be able to guess what mistake she has made. And the big news, is that Alyson is launching a new crochet magazine! Hello, Ms. Editor-in-Chief!

Call it Fall or Autumn, it's here! We're both fans of the season, so we're celebrating with an autumnal quiz first up. Vivian is working away on her sweaters, plus she's cast on a new speckly WIP. Alyson's been a bit naughty and has nothing new to show, just project bags of secret things or things without progress– oops! But she is modelling a new T-shirt design!

Alyson has made a start on her project for the 2020 BIPOC MAL being hosted by Desamour Designs and Vivian is making another (all together now) color work yoke sweater! Plus Vivian has not one, not two, but three finished objects! Someone's been a busy bee.

Please excuse the cat related interruptions in this episode! Sushi makes an appearance, so of course we talk about her, and we also talk about Vivian's new instagram account for the cats! But don't worry, we're also talking about our crafting. Alyson has started a new sweater, and Vivian (of course) is juggling two color work sweaters.

Surprising absolutely no one, Vivian has started another colorwork sweater! But that also means she's done with the Sinister Catdigan, complete with a custom pocket (Oooo! Ahhh!). And in a shocking turn of events... Alyson has started a knitting project?!

This is another video episode (you can see our faces). Check out our YouTube channel if you're interested in watching along, or listen to the audio only version on your favorite podcasting app. There's some old standbys in our WIPS, two fingering weight, colorwork sweaters for Vivian (no surprises there), and Alyson's Tunisian shawl from The Crochet Project. Which means insightful listeners/viewers will know Vivian has a big, colorful FO!

The Archive KCAL is over, and we're celebrating by picking not one, but two lucky crafters to receive some lovely prizes! Vivian has been a knitting machine, with three WIPs on the go, including a new one. Alyson meanwhile is still chugging along on her De Danann shawl. And both have rather interesting FOs... sort of "non-FO FOs"... or is it "second time around FOs"? You can be the judge of that!

Let's stay home together! And what better thing to do while you're staying home than knitting and crocheting? The Archive KCAL is still going and Alyson has two FOs for the KCAL! Vivian meanwhile has abandoned her new knitting technique from last episode in favor of the Jacquard Ladderback technique.

We have cats! Sinister cats, that is... on Vivian's Sinister Catdigan. And the joys of a knitter trying to explain the STUART method of color knitting to a crocheter. It's fascinating stuff! And Alyson is soooo close to finishing her Chain Reaction Afghan.

No surprises there; it's to do with cats! And Alyson is sharing thoughts and acquisitions from Unravel... a festival of yarn.

What would the first episode of the year be without a moment to reflect on all of our finished FOs from the past year? Featuring a debate on whether the majority of Vivian's 2019 FOs include colorwork hehe! In the meantime, Vivian is making good headway with her East Coast Girl cardigan, thankfully whilst not going blind. And Alyson might be embracing triangle shawls?!

It's Christmas in September! Both Alyson and Vivian are working on Christmas themed WIPs, but one is going to be finished by Christmas and one definitely won't be. They are also both hard at work on their own sweaters, coincidentally, both in blue. Plus Vivian even has a totally new FO.

Goodbye summer, hello September! We've both had busy Augusts, Vivian with her move to Virginia and Alyson with the Edinburgh Fringe. But we've also managed to do a bit of crafting. Alyson is still chugging away at her Tunisian crochet sweater, as well as something we'll term "miscellaneous." And Vivian isn't quite so done with her Sagitta shawl as she thought she would be.

This is Alyson's month for projects! She has three finished objects to share, including her beautiful Luteola stole and a pair of nålebinding (knotless knitting) mittens. If you've never heard of nålebinding, definitely have a listen; it's so interesting! Plus Alyson is chatting about the yarn shops of Oslo (featuring really bad Norwegian pronunciations). Big news from Vivian: she's moving to Virginia! Less big news from Vivian: she made a trip to New York City.

Third time is the charm and we've got a great Episode 46 for you all! Vivian has started her CoopKnits sock which should really be called her 2019 EYF socks, although who would we be if there weren't some initial kinks to iron out first? And she has a big FO to share!! And Alyson is all FOs today: two totally new projects and one returnee to the show. Plus, for our Marvel fans, we're going to be talking your ear off at the end of the episode, so stay tuned if that's your jam!

It's all in the title, really. We've got WIPs, we've got FOs, and we've got a whole lot of chat about Vivian's trip to Scotland! We're sharing our thoughts from the Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2019, our experiences of the show and people we met. And be warned; we might make you green with envy with our stash acquisitions ;) And if you don't like to hear about beautiful Scottish scenery, cover your ears because we're also recapping our trip to the Isle of Skye! Happy listening, everyone :)

We've both started our Colorwork KCAL projects, have you? Vivian is working more than half way done with her Sheep Mittens (turns out they're both butt hands) and Alyson is working on a Honeyclone cowl.

We're kicking off the Colorwork KCAL! Mostly by talking about what we're planning on making: sheep mittens for Vivian and a cowl for Alyson. But of course, Vivian's WIPs involve colorwork anyway. Typical!

It's a big WIP day for Alyson because she's loading up projects to take on holiday. Not to mention, there's a glorious FO for Alyson too. Vivian meanwhile is being pretty monogamous with her Zweig sweater. Plus, we're announcing our next KCAL!

New year, new episode! But before we get on with all the new projects to come in 2019, we're reflecting back on all that we accomplished in 2018. Neither of us are professional crafters, but we've finished an impressive number of projects, if we do say so ourselves. And if we didn't prove it before, Vivian is indeed the Queen of Hats, as shown by the eleven hats she's made this past year!

You can probably guess what the cult is. We are all part of the cult. The cult is life. It's knitting and crocheting! We're off bumpy start because our Buzzfeed quiz results didn't peer into the deep recesses of our souls like they usually do, but we have a lot of projects to share with you all today- new and old!

You win some and you lose some. In Vivian's case, you mostly lose some! There's the obscene knit fail (you'll just have to listen to find out more) and a sort of lose-win not-really-macrame macrame plant hangers. One thing that's definitely an absolute win? Alyson is working on her crochet sock for the massive #sockcal2018 Oh, and you know us, there's plenty of chit chat about other non-crafty things, mostly TV shows to be honest.

We're just regular crazy Asians, but we cannot stop talking about Crazy Rich Asians the movie... Alyson even has a Crazy Rich Asians themed WIP! Vivian has gone a bit more traditional with updates on her color work Engi sweater (spoiler: it has been a troublesome project). Plus Vivian has started a new hat project using some of her "Meet the Shepherd/ess" yarns from EYF.

Most productive crafter goes to Vivian this time around. Her Sock Arms sweater is finally off the needles, plus she’s already started her next fingering weight sweater! Alyson has more excuses than projects, but one of her FOs is in celebration of her first pattern on Ravelry being available to download as a PDF. Swish! Stay tuned for our Nerdtastic segment too where we discuss Asian (North) American film and TV.

Together again! Together again! We took a short break in our adventures, galavanting around Scotland to record a special video episode... because we're together again! All this vacationing means Vivian has had loads of time to knit knit knit, but her Sock Arms sweater is still on the needles! Alyson, meanwhile has lots of new WIPs to talk about- a shawl, a market bag, and a cushion. Plus we have lots of chat about what we've been getting up to.

We'll call this one a "curated" episode. It's short, but sweet, and full of accomplishments. Alyson has successfully tried her hand at intarsia crochet, with the not so insubstantial help from Fay's new Stiallach Bag Collection pattern. And both Vivian and Alyson have exciting FOs! Alyson's has been long in the works, while Vivian's is one you may have forgotten about.

If we know anything, it is that Vivian will make multiple versions of patterns she likes. Also our cats love a cameo. Vivian has finished her second pair of Fiddlehead Mittens (featuring a Sushi cat cameo). And she's working on her Wool and the Gang socks which are cool, but not going quite to plan. Also not going quite to plan, Alyson's Pleated Cardigan... oh dear.

Slow but steady wins the race (maybe). Both Vivian and Alyson are taking that philosophy to heart, each with small projects underway for the KALCAL: hot water bottle cover for Alyson and dish towel for Vivian. In other news, Alyson is grumbling about both her tank top and her sweater, but don’t worry she still loves her makes. And we hear from Hannah over at the Cozy Cottage Crochet podcast with a mailbag submission!

We haven't gotten quite as much knitting and crocheting as we would have liked. Vivian has been hanging about at home with 2 of 4 daughters and Alyson's has been ignoring everything except her current read, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. But we're revisiting lots of projects you might already be familiar with. Alyson's blanket and Blurre shawl, and Vivian's Bubbly sweater and Korra hat. Thanks for tuning in!

Things to giggle about in this episode: Minions, husbands in craft stores, and sperm. As @lisa_raspberrycrochet pointed out, a common project theme this week is short rows. Vivian is having fun with short rows and Alyson is despairing over short rows. Expect many more short row hats in Vivian’s future because she bought Woolly Wormhead’s Elemental ebook.

The Edinburgh Yarn Festival is over, but we're both riding the EYF high and knitting and crocheting up a storm. Vivian is making progress on her Bubbly sweater, and surprise, she's both finished a hat and started ANOTHER hat. We don't call her the hat goddess for nothing! Alyson is loving the Blurre shawl (crochet's answer to the Find Your Fade). There's a Blurre Along being hosted by Earl Grey Crochet until April 30th. Definitely join in, it's a great make.

This one’s a real doozy, folks! We’re chatting all about the Edinburgh Yarn Festival in this episode. Of course, we have a lot of new yarn and goodies to show you, but it’s not all acquisitions. We also have a few special guests making an appearance. Louise from Caithness Crafts, Clarisabeth of Crochetcakes, and Caroline from Mind and Muse Crafting all kindly joined us for a mini recording session at EYF. Look out for a video clip of us with our dancing shoes at the ceilidh, and we even managed to chat about some WIPs!

We're together again, this time in New Hampshire for a short episode to kick off the month. Vivian has another "experiment" to show off, but Alyson is starting to insist that these aren't experiments, they're bonafide designs. This time it's a colorful infinity scarf. Alyson has finished her Wisteria Trellis shawl for the Blacker Yarns PodKAL, and with plenty of time to spare.

A virtual high five to whoever can get the title reference before listening to the show! Call me, beep me, if you want to reach me The Ultra Violet KCAL is winding down, but there's still time to submit your FOs to the Ravelry thread. Both of us have finished our KCAL projects, although Vivian has done three to Alyson's one. Alyson's Carloway Cowl and Vivian's Fiddlehead Mittens both feature color work, but someone's color work is much more impressive than the other! (cough Vivian cough) Vivian has also been working on more, surprise, hats! But not just any old hats, she's been experimenting with designing her own using daisy stitches.

Holy wow, it's been a year of Keep Calm and Carry Yarn podcasting! Thank you for joining us both on this journey, and here's to an awesome year two! We're both making good progress with our Ultra Violet KCAL projects (Vivian has finished her Gris de Lin Cowl and Alyson is so close to being done with her Carloway Cowl). There are some awesome FOs being shared on the Ravelry group. And maybe the biggest accomplishment of all is that Vivian has finished the Maxfield Cardigan!! Wooo!

It's a special reunion video episode! We're both in London, Vivian to see Hamilton the musical, and Alyson to see Vivian. All of our WIPs have travelled with us so you all can see what we're working on (a lot) and we also made a pilgrimage to Loop to squish all the yarn. We love seeing what everyone is knitting and crocheting for the Ultra Violet KCAL which is still going on until March 1st!

The Ultra Violet KCAL begins in a couple weeks, so we're chatting about the yarn and projects we'll be working on. Plus, we're also participating in the Blacker Yarns PodKAL because we're just so excited for Edinburgh Yarn Festival! Not to mention, Alyson has also joined in The Crochet Circle's One Skein Wonderland CAL. Bitten off more than she can chew? Possibly... Vivian on the other hand, is still churning out hats like a knitting machine!

Despite living in Scotland, Alyson has not picked up much Scots, despite her excellent results in the Scots themed Buzzfeed quiz. Can anyone tell us what a gabfu o glaur is?? Vivian has been churning out hats like it's her job and Alyson is still contemplating crocheted socks. Also, by the way, we have very wide feet. Here's hoping Rohn Strong can help Alyson crochet correctly proportioned socks.

Do you ever get that project where no matter what you do, the stitch count just will not cooperate? That’s the theme of Alyson’s crocheting thoughts this episode. The Kreisel Fingerless Gloves are on the hook, but driving her mad, and Vivian has some thoughts on just freaking fudging it. Plus, Vivian has finished her gorgeous Winterly Sweater!
